No. 3 overall pick Mike Zunino made a mockery of low Single-A, hitting .373 with 10 homers, 10 doubles, and a 1.210 OPS in 29 games and the Mariners were so impressed that they’re promoting the reigning college player of the year two levels to Double-A.

Just got the news Im heading to Jackson tmrw to play 4 the @jacksongenerals!Can’t thank my teammates and coaches at Everett enough #blessed

Assuming the former University of Florida catcher holds his own at Double-A down the stretch the promotion puts Zunino in position to potentially begin next season at Triple-A as a 22-year-old. And by this time next year there’s a strong chance he’ll be the Mariners’ starting catcher.
